Just the sodium sulfite alone will likely do the trick - of course then it is also one-shot - without the bisulfite it will not keep. I generally through a handful of sodium sulfite into my first wash tank and then when I am done for the day I dump it.

This is a home-made Hypo Clearing Bath and I have found it quite effective in getting the pink and/or purple out.
